Pre-Lecture Prep and Pre-Quiz

Please watch the Introduction to Binary Numbers video from Lab 1 and complete the pre-quiz on Moodle before coming to class.

Announcements

• Homework 2 is due today.
• Homework 3 is due next Tuesday at 11:40am EDT.
• Please fill out the course check in survey.
• We have updated the guidelines on posting homework (also posted here):
  • Please upload a .ino file when possible (if using simulator, you can still download the Arduino app and save the files)
    • The .ino files should have the following naming convention: LastName_HWX_Y.ino, where X is the number of the assignment and Y is the number of the problem.
  • For simulator:
    • Add the Circuit Playground #include at the top, change bothButtons to left and right
• Office hours and wizard sessions:
  • Delano: Mondays at 3pm-5pm (same zoom link as lecture), or by appointment
  • Cheever: check his schedule
  • Wizard sessions: Sunday 1-3pm EDT, Monday 7-9pm EDT (zoom link on moodle)
